Volume 1: Beishan Pass Chapter 27 Murderous Opportunities
A snowstorm is coming, and the majestic and steep Beishan Mountain Range is silent in a world of snowflakes.
On the official road from Beishan Town to Beishan Pass, a group of officers and soldiers escorted two young men and women, the young and beautiful woman's cheeks were red and swollen, cold tears were hanging, and her eyes were already desperate. And the man in the green robe, after being kicked and abused continuously, has lost the pride and scenery of the past, and his body is covered with traces of being insulted, and the green robe is also stained with blood.
Wu Qing, the eunuch of the prison army, looked at the beautiful woman and sighed secretly in his heart, it's a pity, such a beautiful woman.
If he still had that thing, he would naturally not let go of such a woman. It's a pity that he is just a eunuch after all.
He secretly calculated in his heart that he might be able to make another fortune from the Kongtong faction.
But soon, he gave up on the idea again. His immediate boss, the Governor and the Chamberlain, has always liked to eat against each other. Although he is an old eunuch, he has collected a lot of beauties.
Compared to money, this black gauze hat on his head is obviously more important.
Immediately, I secretly made up my mind that I had to find a way to send this woman to Kyoto. You might even get a big reward.
And among this group of officers and soldiers, only this woman can provoke their silent thoughts after the killing. One by one, they swallowed their saliva like wolves. It's a pity that such a woman is just a passing cloud after all. I glanced at it from time to time, and occasionally when I was urging, I touched it and pinched it, and my heart was happy.
She struggled to resist several times, trying to get Luo Xi's rescue, but unfortunately Luo Xi turned a blind eye and didn't hear it. A woman has never been like a garment, and he is already unable to protect himself, so how can he take care of her.
Qingcheng is in despair, like a walking corpse.
She has always been arrogant, how could she have suffered such humiliation.
She wanted to commit suicide several times, but it was a pity that Wu Qing, who had a sinister and vicious face, was willing to give her such an opportunity. She was pointed at the acupuncture points, imprisoned her kung fu, and even the last bit of strength to resist disappeared in the struggle again and again.
"Kill!"
On both sides of the dense forest of the official road, there was a soft shout, followed by a rain of arrows.
The first to bear the brunt was Na Luoxi. Before Wu Qing could react, he had already been hit by several arrows in his body, and with a pop, he vomited blood and died.
When Wu Qing saw that he was killed, he immediately looked angry, and hurriedly organized officers and soldiers to fight back.
It's a pity that these assassins were prepared, and after killing Luo Xi, they took advantage of the chaos to pounce on a few people in black, impulsive to Qingcheng's side, injured the officers and soldiers escorted, and stunned her with a punch.
A man in black carried her, turned around and disappeared on the official road.
When Wu Qing rushed over, another arrow came from the dense forest, forcing him back.
Almost suddenly, he quickly knocked down a few officers and soldiers, and quickly turned around and fled into the dense forest.
"Chase! Chase for the sprinklers! ”
Wu Qing, who was angry, hurriedly ordered to chase and kill.
The officers and men, who had always been good at team combat, were caught off guard. When they reacted and rushed over, this group of Jianghu assassins who had experienced a hundred battles had obviously already thought of a way out.
With a few booms, several huge rocks were pushed down from the cliffs in the dense forest, and smashed on the official road.
When Wu Qing saw the assassin fleeing, he jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, and in anger, he waved his long knife and cut down several big trees around him one after another.
"Throw this dog thing and feed it to the dogs." He pointed to Luo Xi's corpse and cursed again and again.
Wait to throw Luo Xi's body to the edge of the cliff.
"My lord, what should I do?" The captain who led the team walked up to him with a feather arrow and asked with a gloomy face. Daring to attack them under this Beishan Pass, this group of assassins really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall.
Wu Qing took a deep breath of cold air, looked at the arrow in his hand, and snorted coldly, have you noticed?
The lieutenant hurriedly handed him the feather arrow in his hand and said in a low voice, this arrow belongs to the standard.
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly exhaled, so bold. Check it out for the sprinklers!
Turning his head, he looked at the dense forest that had quieted down again, and a flash of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "If it was stolen by the Beishan Pass guards, you should know what to do, right?" ”
The captain's face suddenly sank, and he immediately gave up, and his subordinates should tell the general that everything should be done by military law.
"Good! That's it. If not, then it's troublesome, and you'll have to find a few substitutes. Then he hummed again, Captain Zhou, this time I was humiliated. You and I are grasshoppers on a rope.
Captain Zhou shuddered suddenly. scolded himself in his heart, this old thing is going to shake the pot. This time, Wu Qing used the defenders without authorization under the banner of clearing the rivers and lakes. If Luo Xi doesn't die, he can still deal with Luo Da, the guard of Beishan. But now that people have been killed, it is not justifiable. He's afraid he's going to have to be hit with dozens of sticks.
"What about the corpse? Just threw it away? ”
Captain Zhou frowned, a little puzzled.
"Sometimes dead people are useful. You send someone to watch. The Sprinkle family estimated that this group of assassins would come back. Wu Qing sneered.
Seeing his puzzled face, Wu Qing said worriedly, the Sprinkle family is called throwing stones to ask for directions. If it was done by the Huashan faction, it would inevitably come to retrieve the body. After all, he was the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sect. If the Huashan faction gets rid of this corpse, then we can sit on the Huashan faction to steal the standard weapon and assassinate us.
"But what if it's not them?"
"That's trouble. If you were Cao Shan, what would you do? Wu Qing asked rhetorically.
"If this person has nothing to do with me, then kill him. If it is related, I'm just afraid ......"
"Cao Shan would never appear in Huashan so simply, he must have another purpose. If it was he who snatched Luo Xi, the Sprinkle family thought very clearly. It's no wonder that he grabbed credit from the Sprinkle family. But he just got a dead hand, and the Sprinkle family couldn't figure it out. killed Luo Xi, how could he solve this case? Could it be that he has another hole card? ”
Captain Zhou thought about it, and suddenly thought of someone in his mind.
"Father-in-law, do you think Luo Yunpo and his wife Lin Yu are acting very weird today?"
Wu Qing looked at him in surprise and hurriedly asked him to elaborate. He confronted Cao Shan in Huashan, and his attention was always on Cao Shan.
Listening to Captain Zhou's reminder at the moment, he recalled the scene on Huashan.
The woman was really weird.
He fainted on the spot.
As the head of the Huashan Sect, it is reasonable to say that she is worried about this big disciple. It's just that with her identity as a forest woman, she has experienced many winds and waves. Isn't it too exaggerated to show such a thing? ”
The two of them thought about it and said in unison, not only her performance was too weird, but even Luo Yunpo. As the leader of the alliance, the leader of the old-school martial arts alliance, and he is still a bad person, he shouldn't be in the face of Cao Shan's performance. And he took the initiative to report it.
"There must be something we don't know about. And those who know this inside story must have Cao Shan and Lin Yuze. ”
After thinking about the twists and turns in the middle, Wu Qing shook the snowflakes on his body, and immediately said with a light in his eyes, it was a little interesting. I'm afraid that the relationship between Cao Shan and Lin Yu is not simple.
"So what are we going to do? Why don't we go directly to Huashan? Captain Zhou said nervously.
Wu Qing thought for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand and said, No. This matter must not alarm Rhoda. You can't be so scareless.
"This?"
Wu Qing immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, brother. It's big or small. To put it mildly, assassinating the officers and soldiers of the imperial court with standard weapons is tantamount to rebellion. Under Beishan Pass, there is such a remnant, what will the imperial court think? What would Rhoda think? Hehe, you and I can't afford this responsibility. At that time, even if it is found out, how many people will die with it? You and I are afraid that if we don't die, we will have to peel off our skin. To put it mildly, first of all, we are playing a sideline ball this time, and it is planted, and someone must stand up and take responsibility. What would Rhoda think if he found out about the case? Who of you and I can get away with these crimes?
In the last sentence, Wu Qing was beating Captain Zhou. After all, most of the injured people are his people.
Captain Zhou naturally knew that Luo Da had always been at odds with Wu Qing.
Since ancient times, the superintendent army has not been welcomed by the majority of the army.
The generals in the army are always subject to the orders of the king, and the prison army is a tight spell that the court puts around their necks. If the prison army wants to stand in the army, it has to suppress these generals, and it is strange that they can get along with each other.
He secretly regretted in his heart that he should not have coveted his money. Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, he can only break his teeth and put them in his stomach. Now, he plans to become a dead horse doctor. Think about how to get rid of your responsibilities first.
"And what do you have a good idea?"
Wu Qing's face deliberately piled up a little unbearable, patted him on the shoulder again, and said in a low voice, brother. The Sprinkle family didn't expect that this errand would have an accident. For now, I can only make my brother suffer a little. Let's play a bitter trick on him.
Captain Zhou's face suddenly changed.
Wu Qing's words, he understood very well. If you want to hide it from Rhoda, then you will definitely not be able to run away from the twenty military sticks that lead the troops out without authorization.
Even if he scolds his mother ten thousand times in his heart, he can only bear it. Not to mention that Wu Qing has the power to do things in his hands, just at this level, he can only be soft.
"My subordinates know what to do."
Captain Zhou said dejectedly.
"That's good. I don't need to teach you more in the future, right? Wu Qing squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"Understood."
Wu Qing meant, if this case cannot be solved, it is no wonder to find a few substitute ghosts to prevent the disaster. And the best substitute for the dead is the surrounding government offices.
As for who will be the unlucky man, he doesn't care.
When he returned to Beishan Pass, as Wu Qing had expected, Luo Da's reaction was thunderous and rainy.
Luo Da received a notice from Captain Zhou, and beat Captain Zhou with twenty sticks in accordance with military law, so he did not investigate further. After all, Captain Zhou is still his man. But he was not confused, and after a little inquiry, he knew a little bit about his eyebrows.
But right now, the news that Queen Viga's 300,000 iron horsemen are about to go south is no secret.
He estimated that it was 300,000 iron horsemen, and I am afraid that it would be less than a third at that time. But only one-third of it is enough for him to drink a pot.
Above the court, the peace talks faction and the main battle faction were in trouble. There are also many capitulation factions who secretly communicate with the northern forces inside and outside the country.
He's having a headache in the head.
No matter which faction he is, he is a small border guard, and no one can afford to offend.
Therefore, as the general of the defending army, he had to focus on the overall situation and did not dare to easily move the army's heart.
